Fan Casting Element Lad in Return to the DC Universe

The last survivor of the planet Trom, Jan Arrah's people and planet were destroyed when the space pirate Roxxas couldn't coerce them to transmutate common elements into rare minerals, which Jan survived by being in space at the time. First dubbed Mystery Lad with the Legion of Super-Heroes trying to guess his powers, Jan would work with them to bring Roxxas to justice, leading him to join the team as Element Lad, even serving as leader at one point. Element Lad also has good connections with the Science Police, having dated officer Shvaughn Erin for some time.
